According to the complaint, on May 22, 2026, before the market opened, Reuters published an article reporting that the China Securities Regulatory Commission (“CSRC”), along with seven other government agencies including the central bank, had launched a crackdown aimed at “brokers it accused of illegally moving money to foreign markets” including “overseas firms and their local partners operating without approval.” The article allegedly reported that online brokers including Futu “would be penalised for soliciting business in China without an onshore licence, the securities regulator said.”
Also on May 22, 2026, Futu disclosed in a press release that it had received a Notification Letter from the CSRC. The Company reported the letter states “certain Futu entities in mainland China and Hong Kong (the “Related Companies”) without obtaining the requisite licenses or approval, conducted securities business, public fund sales business and futures business in mainland China.” The press release further states that the CSRC “proposes to order the Related Companies to rectify or cease such activities, confiscate illegal gains, and impose fines, with the total proposed penalty amounting to approximately RMB1.85 billion (approximately USD271 million).”
On May 22, 2026, the price of Futu shares fell $34.10 per share, or 27.5%, to close at $89.76 per share.
Then, on May 28, 2026, before the market opened, Futu announced in a press releasee financial results for the first quarter of 2026.
